The Embassy of Warsaw is the city’s central cultural and information point. It is meant as a space for both tourists and Warsaw residents, which combines informational functions, a green space and a cafe. The Embassy is staffed by a diverse and interdisciplinary group of consuls who can assist in planning a night out on the city or learning more about its history and culture. The Embassy is located in the revitalized Rotunda building which was restored to its original form. Its new/old see-through facade opened the building to its location at one of Warsaw’s busiest intersections, creating a number of synergies with the adjacent square. The Rotunda’s characteristic ceiling has been preserved while the rest of the interior has been changed to reflect its new functions. A high multipurpose space has replaced the central mezzanine and its clustered office spaces. A PKO BP SA bank branch is located next to the Embassy. Both these functions are contained around a central horseshoe shape which surrounds the interior garden space. The horseshoe rises to create an amphitheater whose wide stairs face the Palace of Culture. This space is meant as a meeting place and the building’s focal point. At the amphitheater’s summit is a small cafe, while the stairs around the green space serve as a place to rest or work. The stairs also feature tables, couches and shelves with books, tourist guides and newspapers. A small space at the park’s entrance houses the information booth, while meetings with the Consuls take place in the garden. The bank branch is located on the ground floor beneath the amphitheater and faces the exterior walls and the walkway around the building. The branch is also partially connected with the green spaces outside. Service areas and additional bank spaces are located beneath the building. The square outside the Rotunda is incorporated into the amphitheater’s design. Park benches and tables at the intersection of Pasaż Wiecha and Widok street face each other, encouraging group interactions. Trees were placed to provide shade for the benches and screen the square from the surrounding streets. Lights embedded in the sidewalk accent pedestrian walkways and entrances into the Rotunda. Piezoelectric plates which transform the pedestrians’ kinetic energy into electricity provide the building with renewable source of power.
